Transformers Toy Rumours (must note a source)

[DELTAprime]

A bunch of 2023 Legacy and SS figures have seemingly leaked.

I'm not interested in the post-G1 figures in the line even if they are "G1" versions. But the rest seem like I'll be buying them. I see Detritus is in the list, he's a G1 Hound repaint, so new Hound incoming???

What are the Legacy Deluxe and Voyager 'Capsules'? Are these capsule 'gashapon' toys, which doesn't make sense, or just placeholder names for the items?

[Tranceblade]

(Apparently) according to Hasbro Taiwan, most HASLAB VICTORY SABER stock for that region has been water damaged and will be cancelled and refunded. If customers respond on time, they will receive the Alpha Trion and Orion Pax set as an apology in addition to their refund, otherwise they will only receive their refund.

I'm curious about the flow-on effects of this, if true. Is Hasbro Taiwan handling stock for other markets in the overall APAC regions as well?

Capsule is the industry term for what we call a sub-line. Appears to have been around for some time, but has only recently seen use amongst customers and communications from Hasbro.

In the specific listings that have been leaked, we don't know precisely what they are, but it's a safe bet to guess at something along the lines of a third wave of Velocitron or (the current favourite) a second wave of Wreckers.

Specifically, this is (allegedly - I don't give much stock to the rumours or supposed sources as yet) about Star Sabre.

I understand that our stock, normal retail and specialty, comes via Hasbro US.

Oh i see. I guess updated listings closer to the release date will have the subline and character names in place of 'capsule'.

Word is that the twitter that rumour came from is fake......its different from the Hasbro Taiwan account.

If it is all fake, it is a very cruel joke... because it is asking people to voluntarily cancel their orders with the promise of a free 2-pack if they do.
When I read it, it didn't make sense that everyone was going to be having their orders cancelled with a full refund, but only people who voluntarily cancelled their orders first would get the free 2-pack,
I wonder if it was done by someone who missed out on the pre-order, and is doing all this just to get a second chance at it from the cancelled orders they are creating.

That or standard 4-chan trollery is my guess. If the latter, then they must be loving the thread over on TFW about now.

It got posted there after it was posted on TFW, was called out as fake very quickly and then not talked about it since
